  • Best human being podcast around

    This is an hour a week I always look forward to. Listening from episode 1, sharing so may hours with this group of winners (each in their repetitive field; radio, music, international cricket, editing/production & role up shoes/game creation) it feels like I’m sat round with friends and enjoying every hour!

    Thank you to all involved and Go Well!!

  • Made Me a Test Addict

    Like most newer cricket fans, I preferred T20 & ODIs until this hilarious pod lured me into the deep... Now I’m a firm test fan - the purest form! Perfect blend of people for different topics & points of view. Love the insights, guests, bromances & quizzes. Go well!

  • All you ever need to know about cricket, that cricket doesn’t even know

    The need to understand cricket to enjoy this podcast is an absolute non- requirement. Let’s face it no one really fully understands this wonderful sport and this podcast tries to bridge this gap whilst being absolutely hilarious, off track, off piste and off the scale funny. You will always end up in better place than you were when you started listening to each podcast. Not to be confused with trailfinders.
